A man was shot in the leg Thursday night as he left a house party in the same block where someone reportedly had a gun the day before.

But no one called police.

Michael D. Hardee, 21, of Seneca Street in Alliance, told police that he and his girlfriend were walking in the 1800 block of Gayle Place SW about 9 p.m. when he suffered a gunshot wound, said Lt. James Cole of the police department's patrol division.

The couple had been heading to a drive-through business from a house party two blocks away in the 1300 block of Scoville Avenue SW "when he heard a pop," Cole said.

Since Jan. 1, police have been called 22 times to the 1300 block of Scoville for a variety of incidents ranging from disturbances and "trouble" to thefts, assaults and breaking and entering, police records show.

But Hardee didn't call police. Neither did his girlfriend.

It wasn't until he made it to Aultman Hospital that the police were notified. Hospital personnel alerted police that a man had arrived with a gunshot wound, Cole said.

Hardee told police he didn't know who shot him, Cole said. He knew only that he and his girlfriend were walking when he told her he'd been shot and that he lie in the grass as she ran back to the house party to get a car to take him to the hospital.

Police had been to the 1300 block of Scoville the day before in response to a fight involving five people and a gun. Police recovered a gun, but determined that no shots had been fired.

They also arrested two brothers.

A 19-year-old man who lives in the 1300 block of Scoville "refused to calm down, go away or be quiet and stop interfering with officers handling the call," the jail records said. Learning he was about to be arrested, his older brother told him to run and then tried to prevent police from following him.

Police arrested and jailed both brothers, each on misdemeanor charges of obstructing official business and disorderly conduct. The Repository does not typically name misdemeanor crime suspects.

Police did not say whether they believe the Thursday night shooting was related to the Wednesday incident.
